Co-hydrothermal carbonization of biopolymer and biomass wastes: Sustainable valorization into solid fuel and thermal filler.
The rapid growth of polylactic acid (PLA) consumption has created a disposal challenge because PLA degrades slowly under natural conditions and is rarely recovered through conventional recycling. This study proposes co-hydrothermal carbonization (co-HTC) with biomass as a practical valorization route to convert mixed P...
